Bambalan, Colston Tower

Change of use and extension to the podium level of Colston Tower to create a bar/restaurant.

The conversion of the redundant podium level of the Colston Tower in the centre of Bristol.

The proposal included a single storey extension on this level of Colston Tower, and for the change of use of the existing structure from office space to a bar/restaurant.

The site benefits from a split-level external terrace which wraps around 3 sides of the internal space.

The new external walls were constructed from a lightweight framework, yet still possess a high insulative value.

The glazed extension provides additional internal floor space which overlooks the centre of Bristol and creates a new link to the external seating areas.

The works have been completed to a high standard, and utilises a range of contemporary materials and finishes to create a bar/restaurant suitable for a range of demographics.
